description Due to environmental degradation, the growing concern of green project performance has become the new marketable demand in the field of project management. Organizational agility as an emerging trend yields sustainability to attain the desired environmental goals and helps to adopt green practices like green procurement. This study empirically checked the direct and indirect impact of organizational agility (customer, partnering, and operational agility) on green project performance, and to understand the mediating role of green procurement between them in relation to the institutional theory, a quantitative analysis was performed. A total of 204 valid responses from construction industry employees in Pakistan were received in 2022 and PLS-SEM statistical analysis was carried out. The results showed a significant impact of organizational agility on green procurement, partial mediation of customer and operational agility, and complete mediation of partnering agility with green project performance. We know that customer and operational agility do have a significant direct impact on green project performance. Additionally, partnering agility did not show any direct relation with green project performance. Organizational agility can and does contribute towards green project performance and green procurement. Based on these findings, it is recommended that researchers study organizational agility and green procurement further in diverse sectors of each country, and with a larger audience. Also, in the context of developing countries, procurement needs more support, and project managers are advised to strengthen agility and its different dimensions.
